I'm currently needing a laptop for photography work, SOME gaming and all around multimedia usage. My budget is around 600€ :) I was looking at [URL="http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_L670-14M_1040587.html"]this laptop[/URL] and some users here have bought and liked them, but I was owndering, is there anything I should be waiting for (hardware wise) before I purchase, so I won't be kicking myself in a month's time thinking I bought my laptop too early? Thanks :)
Looks like a nice laptop.
Yeah I was looking at it from one of the links posted here and it does seem like a very good deal. Now I don't know if I should wait or not [IMG]http://b-static.net/vbulletin/images/smilies/tongue.gif[/IMG] The desktop won't be replaced when I get this either so I must consider that as a factor.
I don't follow laptop hardware/software releases, but I think you'll be fine buying that, especially with your budget. Any major release is not really going to affect the prices of hardware in your budget range.
Assuming that you're not looking forward to buy a high end laptop, that laptop is fine as is.

The hard drive on there is 640GB, and its roughly $200 more than OP's suggested computer. Im washing on the differnece between home and professional, and the increased proc. speed.
